the wonder and dread of Physicians
and Medical Colleges in the U. s., so
much so, that Physicians graduating
ut Medical Colleges are required to
discountcnance Proprietary Medi-
cines, as through them the country
doctor loses his most profitable prac-
tee. AS a manufacturers OF Proprie-
tary Medicines, DIR. G. G. Green of
Woodbury., n. j., advocates most
cordially, in order to prevent the
risk that the sick and afflicted are
liable to, almost daily by the use of
Patent Medicines put out by inexpe-
rienced persons for aggrandizement
only, and the employing of inexperi-
enced and incompetent doctors by
which almost every village and town
is cursed and men claiming to be
doctors who had better be undertake
ers, experimenting with their pa
tients and robbing them Of their
money and health, for the good of
the afflicted that our government
protect its people by making laws to
regulate the practice Of medicine by
better experienced and more thor
oughly educated Physicians, and
thereby keen up the honor and credit
OF the profession, also form laws for
the recording Of recipes of Proprie-
tary Medicines, under examination
and decision of experienced Chemists
and Physicians appointed for that
purpose by the Government, before
they are licensed for general use.
He would most freely place the reci-
pc Of Boschee's German Syrup and
Green's August Flower under such
laws, had he the proper protection,
and thereby save the prejudice of the
people, and avoid the competition
and imitation Of worthless medicines.

A we'll dressed man attempted tho
other day to board the front platform
OF a Grand street car in Jersey City,
N. }. He missed his footing, fell to
the ground, and the iron wheels
crushed over one OF his legs, com
pletely severing it at the knee. There
was cry OF horror among the peo-
pie who saw the accident, and two
ladies tainted. The wounded man
showed wonderful seli-control and
stoicism, and crept unaided to the
curbstone before the frightened by
ISLANDERS could reach him. SO com
posed was he, in fact, that one man,
growing suspicious, went and picked
up the amputated limb. One look
at the should be- but-wasn't CHASTITY

KEEN IF NOT IN HER RIGHT MIND

From the Newburypois Mass Herald
An elderly married lady in Bay
field, who possesses property in her
own right, had frequently expressed
a desire to make donation to the
church with which she is connected
when suitable occasion offered, and
accordingly when the society deter
mined on repairing and remodelng
the meeting house, the minister. as
chairman OF the soliciting committee,
called on her for contributions and
was presented with a check for $500.
The good clergyman went home high
ly elated, but was taken terribly aback
the next day when the lady's hus-
band and son called to protest against
her munifcence. They declared she
had not been in her right mind for a
long time and didn't know what She
was doing when she yielded to the
undue'infiuenee brought to bear up
on her Though the minister knew
that she was as sane as her husband.
to say the least, and that the contri-
bntion was perfectly voluntary, yet a
Discrimination TO become mixed up in
legal proceedings, which were limited
at, induced him TO send back the
money. So far so good, but now
comes the sequel The husband sold
tract OF land; the deed was duly
drawn, signed and sealed by the
grantor, who passed ii to his wife to
sign for the REIMBURSEMENT Of dover,
BUT to his establishment she interpos-
ed slight objection. mo, | am not
in my right mind, you know, and my
act would be void, was her reply,
and in spite of all solicitations she
refused the courtesy of her auto
graph, and the old gentleman has
the land still on his hand instead Of
the money in his pocket.

A BRIDE OF FOUR HOURS.

|. j. Bottom, of james county,
Tennessee, came to this place Sunday
was week ago and married Miss
Rail a lady living near this place.
-Four hours after the happy marriage
some parties came from Tennessee,
swore out warrant and had the gay
young groom arrested and Jailed for
the grave offence of horse stealing
The action on the part of the officers
almost broke the heart of his fair
bride, who had only been called Mrs.
Bottom four hours previous to her
husbands arrest AS to the gief of
both parties p being separated so
soon, it can better be imagined by
our readers than described by us.
But like true and devoted wife she
went to work to secure her husbands
release, and after five days of indie
scribable agony and toiling Without
ceasing, she at last employed the val
liable services of Judge w. II. Payne,
who very soon had her husband
brought before the court of Ordinary
and released under "A writ of habeas
corpus. Az soon as the prisoner was
released the reuniting of bleeding
hearts was only of that deep heart
felt affection existing between hus-
band and wife. After embracing and
caressing for about two minutes, the
husband started Tor the mountain,
and the rurther off he got the faster
he ran.- Ringgold Courier,

John Sherman one OF the bitterest
enemies OF the Southern people has
been to Birmingham and other points

in Nashville. He is evidently trying TO

Of the chief conspirator who with Gar
Geld, Eliza Pinkston and others cheated
Mr.. Tilden out OF the Presidency to
which the people had elected him. He

THE names OF the Commissioners APP
pointed by the President under the
Interstate Commerce bill were mad
vertently left out last week after they
had been set in type. They are as fol-
lows:
Thomas M. Cooley of Michigan, for
the term OF six years; William R. Nor
ison OF Illinois, for the term OF five
years; Augustus Schoonmaker of New
York for the term Of four years; Al
dace F. Walker of Vermont, for the
term Of three years; Walter L. Bragg,
Of Alabama, for the period of two years.
The fact that Mf Cooley's name
heads the list does not necessarily indi-
cate that he will be chairman of the
commission, as it must elect its own
chairman. Mr.. Cooley was recently APP
pointed by Judge Gresham receiver Of
the Wabash Railroad Company.
Aldace F. Walker is Vermont law
yer, about Al years old, Republican
in politics who studied law with Senator
Edmunds, served as colonel in the
Union army and has since then prac.
ticed law at Ruthland. In the Vernon,
senate he has taken aleading part in
framing legislation to solve the railwa,
problem and has given much study Il
the question.
Augustus Shoemaker is q lawyer
in Kingston, N. Y, and was always I
close personal and political friend o
Gov. Tilden. He succeeded Mr.. Fair
child as attorney general OF New York
Mr.. Bragg has been leading Demo
crat in Alabama for some years. Ii
1881 he WIS made president Of the Ala

served in that position four years du
ring which time many important ques
ticns arising between the railroads an,
